Disability Statement

The University of Essex, in conformity with its Charter, is committed to a comprehensive equality policy and strategy and welcomes disabled students. The University aims to offer academic support in response to individual needs, and strives to ensure that the buildings are physically accessible. We have experience of supporting students who have mobility difficulties, students who use personal assistants, as well as blind and partially sighted students, students who are deaf or hard of hearing, students with a specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia, students with mental health issues as well as students with hidden disabilities, medical conditions and temporary injuries.

The University publishes information on the facilities and the services available for disabled students. This includes information about the buildings, academic support and funding as well as other details about the University. This information is published on the University Disability Service website.
